Stop codons are

  • AUG, GUG

  • UAA, UGA, UAG

  • UAC, UGG

  • AGU, AGA, UAC


B.

UAA, UGA, UAG

UAGUAAUGA are three stop codons or non- sense codons. They do not code for any amino acid.

AUG works as an initiation codon in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In rare cases, GUG is used as an initiation codon in bacterial protein synthesis.

AUG is used to code for tyrosine, UGG codes for tryptophan, AGU codes for serine and AGA codes for argenine.

E. coli cells with a mutated Z gene of the lac operon cannot grow in medium containing only lactose as the source of energy because

  • in the presence of glucose, E. coli cells do not utilize lactose

  • they cannot transport lactose from the medium into the cell

  • the lac operon is constitutevely active in these cells

  • they cannot synthesize functional β- galactosidase
